How it works on Roku
Install the ClosedCast channel from the Roku Channel Store, then open it on your Roku or Roku TV to access your uploaded videos. Uploaded content is presented as Collections you can browse and play on the big screen, so there’s no need to run a personal media server.
Organize your personal library
Upload family recordings, home movies, training clips, or event footage through ClosedCast and group them into private Collections. Collections create an easy-to-browse structure for replaying highlights, full recordings, or themed sets on your TV.
Privacy and sharing controls
ClosedCast is built for private archives: there’s no public feed or algorithmic discovery. You keep control over who can view each Collection and share with selected people so your videos remain private and replayable.
